adj. coated or lubricated with grease
vt. past tense of "grease" (to apply grease to something)
The word "grease" originates from Old French "graisse" (fat, grease), derived from Latin "crassus" (thick, fat). The suffix "-ed" is a common English past tense marker, indicating the action of applying grease has been completed. The combination reflects a straightforward evolution from a noun (grease) to a verb (to grease) and its past participle form (greased), maintaining the core meaning of lubrication or fat application.
